This is also Budapest and this is also the Danube, just a little differently

Of course, the Parliament is beautiful and the Castle is beautiful, but there are alternatives.


You are all familiar with the cliché Budapest cityscapes featuring the bridges, the Parliament, the Castle, and the Liberty Statue.

But what happens if we don’t turn our gaze toward the city center? For instance, if we marvel at the section of the Danube lying to the north from the Árpád Bridge. And at sunset, to boot.

Well, I’ll show you what happens.

On the right, you can see the Duna Arena—built for the 2017 World Aquatics Championships—and on the left, the Hajógyári Island, where the Sziget Festival is held. In the background, the Újpest Railway Bridge tries to hide. The latter is not very famous, but I can recommend, for example, the Kabin located on the Népsziget (on the right side of the picture) below it, which I included in this collection back in the day.

Well, this turned out to be a short little piece.
